Well done Scotland. Nothing’s easy, but all you can ask for is a Govt that listens, understands and acts

Mike Nesbitt can you advise re introducing electronic prescriptions for GPs in NI? England have had for over 7 years. Would greatly reduce receptionist time & risk of errors whilst importantly helping to create time to increase patient access to primary care. Should be priority

“Primary care is the front door of the NHS and it’s clearly broken,” says @ShawnC_GDPC “Government needs to put its money where its mouth is and start fixing it.”   The new Public Accounts Committee report shows the shift from hospital to community has stalled.👇 mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/n…

NI LMC Conf this wkd after England last wk An immensely challenging year for NI GPs & their practices 10m appts delivered pa (200k per week) on 5.4% of a £7.8bn health budget Needed £80m; £1m imposed 😱 50p/wk tied to access targets So much cross committee learning 💪

GPs frustrated at funding from Stormont are now talking about the possibility of working outside the NHS. What might that mean for patients? Would they have to pay? Chair of BMANI-GP Dr Frances O'Hagan spoke to Mark Carruthers on Sunday Politics after Saturday's GP conference

NI GPs yesterday backed a no confidence vote in both the Health Minister Mike Nesbitt and his department. It follows Mr Nesbitt imposing a funding package on GPs in May, even though they had rejected it. "He needs these people", Deirdre Heenan tells Mark Carruthers

Deirdre Heenan nailed it on Sunday Politics. Mike Nesbitt has been badly advised by the civil servants and now has GPs leaving the NHS due to underfunding and disrespect. You don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone

Congratulations to Stephen Ferris after his induction into the Rugby Players Ireland Hall of Fame ✨ Recognition of a fantastic playing career for Ulster Rugby and Ireland on the international stage 🫡

Once again, NI hospitals overwhelmed, inhumane trolly waits and ambulances queuing for up to 12 hours. The most cost-effective way of preventing patients deteriorating to the point of needing hospital care is to increase GP capacity. Indisputably the best bang for our buck.
